Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds composed of ice crystals. At what elevation to cirrus clouds form?

70% Answer Correctly

low-altitude

high-altitude

mid-altitude

ground level


Solution

Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.

74% Answer Correctly

neutron

proton

electron

isotope


Solution

An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.


5

As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.

65% Answer Correctly

pushes under

mixes with

cancels out

pushes above


Solution

A cold front is a warm-cold air boundary with the colder air replacing the warmer. As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air pushes under the lighter warm air that it is replacing. The warm air becomes cooler as it rises and, if the rising air is humid enough, the water vapor it contains will condense into clouds and precipitation may fall.
